Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/05/15

This is our second show about diagnoses that are frequently seen with ADHD. Some are associated with stress of having an ADHD brain in a society that is largely designed for neurotypical brains and some have more to do with genetics.

2025/05/08

ADHDers have a unique cognitive style, but the society they live in is not designed to reward or reinforce this cognitive. This causes a lot of distress, doubt, sadness and frustration. These sometimes approach levels to the extent that they need to be diagnosed and treated. In this first of two parts I’ll cover part of this dilemma.

ADHD-A Simple Way to Control Emotions

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/05/01

Many people think emotions are not under their control. I often comment that I could convince people that they can lose 50 pounds in 4 weeks than that they have control over their emotions and can change them. Emotions are mostly trained by home environment. But what has been trained can be changed using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I will cover the basics of this technique—how to use it yourself and how to use it with your ADHD child.

ADHD-Emotions for ADHD

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/04/17

All parents of ADHDers know that there are a lot of exaggerated emotions with our children, but where do they come from? Why are they so strong and sometimes seem to be totally independent of anything going on in their lives. I’ll discuss some of the explanations for emotions and why ADHDers emotions are so strong.

ADHD-Continuing Issues

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/04/03

In this episode, I’ll be covering 4 trending issues in ADHD- 1. Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, 2. Medications, 3. ADHD vs Autism, 4.ADHD-Disability or Difference. These are all emerging issues in ADHD and they are all more complicated than they appear on the surface. For instance, #4, the question of whether ADHD is a disability or just a difference is hugely complicated. Nobody wants their child to have a disability, but if it’s not a disability, then your child doesn’t get any

ADHD-Importance of Behavioral Monitoring

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/03/27

People don’t pay much attention to what’s going on in their lives, they just react and then forget about what happened. With an ADHD child it’s important to be fully alert to the situations that occur and be able to compare one situation to other similar situations. One of the best ways to do this is to actually monitor the event, pay attention to it, write down observations and compare it to similar situations. The old saying “you can’t change it if you don’t measure it.”This applies to

ADHD- Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/03/20

ADHDers have and emotional regulation problem called rejection sensitive dysphoria. This means they overreact to slights that are real or imagined.This difficulty is likely a result of the emotional regulation problems ADHDers have combined with the 70 or so critical comments they receive each and every day. The responses are typically very strong and frequently surprise family and friends

ADHD - Psychotherapy vs Coaching

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/03/13

Psychotherapy and/or coaching and sometimes both are usually recommended for ADHDers. In this episode I’ll briefly review the advantages and disadvantages of both. Psychotherapy is generally recommended for psychopathology (anxiety, depression). Coaching gives the individual more control of the direction of the coaching and the general goal is performance enhancement.

ADHD-Why i married an ADHDer

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/03/06

This episode is for all us neurotypicals who married an ADHDer. What could possibly possessed us to marry someone who generates clutter and piles of paper almost instantly. And then they don’t really see it after they’re done with the room they were in. I call the piles “horizontal files” and you better not move anything or your ADHDer will be very upset. They also seem to know exactly what’s in each pile and find it.

ADHD-A Hunter’s Mind in a Farmer”s World

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/02/27

One of the ways to conceptualize the difficulties of being ADHD in a neurotypical world is the Farmer/Hunter dichotomy espoused by Thomas Hartman. He says ADHD minds can be thought of as hunter’s minds needing to be constantly,alert responding rapidly and needing to forget old information to increase readiness for the next situation. The hunter is also constantly on the move. The problem comes when the world becomes a farmer’s world, a place in which you stay in one place. You need to be

ADHD-Best Jobs

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/02/13

When it comes to finding an ideal job,ADHDers are, in a way, kind of lucky because they literally can’ stand, won’t tolerate and won’t do a very good job doing stuff that bores them. They need work that is fast paced, requires quick responses and decisions, ideally needs some creativity and has an element of risk. That’s probably why so many ADHDers are entrepreneurs, artists and entertainers. I will go over other requirement as for the ideal ADHD job and recommend some specific job

ADHD-Best Sports

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/02/06

Sports can be very important for ADHD3ers. Exercise offers a natural wat to increase dopamine in the brain which improves he ability to focus and. Sustain attention and also improves self-control and impulse control. Best of al,l sports present an area of life in which the ADHDer is not at a disadvantage. Of course, not all sports are a good fit nor all the different positions in team sports good for ADHDers. I’ll cover what to look for in sports and which ones are best fits and which

ADHD-Lack of Maturity

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/01/30

Your ADHDer’s physical development is consistent with that of his peers. However mentally and physically his/her development is 3-5 years behind the peer group. This is a particular problem for parents because your child still wants all the badges of adulthood that his peers are getting. This includes getting a driver’s license, dating, wanting to make their own decisions, experimenting with new looks and wardrobes. Remember, for teenagers in general, their emotions are fully developed

ADHD-Talents and Abilities

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/01/23

Sometimes it seems like life is going to be difficult for ADHDers, no matter Wharton we, as parents do. But ADHDers are not brain damaged or stupid or crazy. They are however,different and have different brains from their eurotypical friends. It’s importrent to recognize that ADHDers have a lot of talents and abilities and they tend to be more successful if they are in situations in which they can use these talents and abilities.

ADHD-Medications

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/01/16

One of the biggest areas of conflict in the treatment of ADHD is the use of medications.Research indicates that the fastest, most efficient mode of treatment is medication. Parents are somewhat reluctant to pursue this course of treatment fearing that medication is a gateway drug. Again, the research suggests that ADHDers who are not in medication treatment are more likely to abuse drugs than those who are.

ADHD-Why Strategic

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/01/09

I named my book Strategic Parenting because being an ADHD parent requires that you be intentional and have a strategic focus or you will get surprised and buried by all the things that you didn’t foresee and plan for. Parenting a neurotypical child is easier because you can take a tactical focus, that is, you can wait until a situation occurs before you have tp react.

ADHD-Parenting, Colonel or Helicopter

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2025/01/02

Raising an ADHD child can be stressful in a variety of ways. School is frequently an extremely emotional experience as your child is put in an environment that was not designed for his type of mind.He also has general difficulties dealing with frustration leading to temper tantrums. There are also problems caused by his/her difficulties with random memory. Parents wil tend to flock to either of two extremes—the extremely strict or the extremely lax.

ADHD-The Role of the ADHD Parent

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/12/26

The role of the ADHD parent is way more complicated than that of the parent of a neurotypical child. In addition to the developmental issues of a neurotypical child, you have the issues caused by the problems created by a system that was not designed for an ADHD brain. In a system that values being able to sit quietly, pay attention for extended periods and wait for instructions, the ADHD brain is uniquely unsuited for this type of environment. The ADHD parent has to be ready to deal with

ADHD: Holiday Prep

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/12/19

The holidays- Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah- can destroy the routines that maintain at least a partial equilibrium and balance in ADHD homes. The changes in diet, guests or being the guests, the disrupted sleep schedules and the travel can all disrupt routines. It is most important to keep all the routines as close to normal as possible. Sleep is absolutely the most important routine to maintain. This is followed closely by exercise which helps increase dopamine levels. It also tends
